731: What to Do After a Layoff, with Scott Anthony Barlow

731: What to Do After a Layoff, with Scott Anthony Barlow

Scott Anthony Barlow: Happen to Your Career

Scott Anthony Barlow is CEO of Happen To Your Career and host of the Happen to Your Career podcast. His team and him are focused on helping people find the work they love. He’s also the author of the book, Happen to Your Career: An Unconventional Approach to Career Change and Meaningful Work*.

You’ve been laid off, or someone close to you is navigating that reality right now. A lot of the first things we think to do after a layoff are wrong. In this episode, Scott and I explore what to avoid…and more importantly, where to begin anew.

Key Points
  • Most people underestimate the time it takes to make a transition to the next, right position.
  • Submitting tons of applications, networking everywhere, and telling everyone that you’re looking feels productive, but is often either incomplete or a waste of time.
  • Give yourself the space to grieve. Spend time with the people who care about you.
  • This didn’t happen to you, it happened for you. Whether objectively true or not, this mindset will help you be intentional about next actions.
  • Hyperfocus your targeting by creating a master resume and also considering backdoors to opportunities.
  • Decide when to hire help by using math – how much will expertise help speed up the process and/or help you land a higher salary?
